After some overnight, much needed rain, our Tuesday is cloudy and very humid.  We received 0.42″ overnight with a little thunder and lightning.  Skies are expected to clear later and highs should make it into t […]

All my kids were home for the weekend and we made a big fire last night in celebration of our country’s birthday.  Someone on the next road was shooting off a fantastic display of fireworks which lasted for about […]

Today is the beginning of the 4th of July weekend and our weather is expected to be great.  They predicted rain for us this afternoon, but right now, it seems doubtful.  We sure could use it.  Yesterday’s high ro […]

We received some much needed rain overnight but it was only 0.17″ which isn’t much.  I guess it’s better than nothing.  Our weather has cooled off a little but there is another bout of hot air coming.  The ho […]

After a stretch of 90 degree days, we finally have some relief.  Our high today is supposed to be in the low 70s, and I had my doubts that we would reach it, but we finally have.  We started out with clear s […]

The past three days have been busy for me with two trips to Detroit which took up my entire days.  At least the weather was good for traveling.  Today will be a little cooler, thank heavens.  Ninety degree we […]

Yesterday was extremely hot here in Michigan with highs in the upper 90s.  Much too warm for me.  There was a huge fire in downtown Holly which destroyed about 4 buildings that I can see.  I felt so sorry for th […]

This will be the hottest day that we’ve had so far this year, with possible record-breaking temperatures.  The heat index could reach well over 100°F, and it seems appropriate that it will happen on the first d […]

We received 0.15″ of rain overnight, and there wasn’t even any rain in the forecast.  At least I didn’t hear of any.  But regardless, everything got a little wet overnight, and even though it ended by morning. t […]

Dad’s couldn’t have had a nicer Father’s Day than what today has been.  We’ve had mostly sunny skies, light winds, and comfortable temperatures.  My oldest son came to spend the day with us and we cooked chicken o […]

The heat has left us for now, and we have a couple of very pleasant days before it gets hot once again.  I should be outdoors enjoying it instead of sitting here at my computer, and I think I’m going to do […]

Yesterday’s heat broke many records and ushered in severe weather in our upper peninsula.  It wasn’t anything though compared to what Wisconsin had.  Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms moved across Wisconsin m […]

Record heat is affecting us today with highs expected in the mid 90s.  Thunderstorms are beginning to develop over western Wisconsin and are expected to move into northern Michigan later.  Tornadoes are also a p […]

We have to admit that those storms last night looked pretty impressive crossing Lake Michigan, but they decided to swing to the south after landing on our western shore.  The southwest and southern-most counties […]

If you look out right now, storms would seem like the most unlikely thing to happen.  The humidity is low and there are no clouds to be seen.  But I’ve already received several weather statements that we could g […]

This has been a very nice weekend, with comfortable temperatures, and just enough of a breeze to open the windows are air out the house.  There were some showers popping up on radar yesterday, but my area seemed […]

We had a heavy, brief shower yesterday afternoon, which dropped almost half an inch in about 20 minutes.  Today there are more showing up on radar but I don’t think they’ll reach us.  The grass is growing about a […]

We have had a few sprinkles so far today, but heavier rain is moving in from the southwest.  It has been on the radar since this morning and doesn’t seem to to moving very fast.  But local forecasters are a […]

After an afternoon of sprinkles, we finally got a good rainfall overnight.  There was 0.42″ in my gauge this morning, and many areas of the state received more than an inch.  The eastern lower part of the state w […]
